JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) The present appeal has been filed by the appellant-plaintiff, challenging the order dated 09.01.2015 passed by the
District Judge, Jhalawar (hereinafter referred to as "the trial court")
in Civil Misc. Application No. 31/2014 filed under Order 39, Rule 1 & 2
of CPC, whereby the trial court has dismissed the said application.
(2.) It is sought to be submitted by the learned counsel for the appellant that the respondent No.1 after having entered into an agreement with the
appellant had sold out the land in question to the respondent No.2, and
hence the appellant has filed the suit for specific performance of the
contract. According to him pending the said suit, the interest of the
appellant is required to be protected, in order to avoid multiplicity of
proceedings. However, the learned counsel for the respondents has
submitted that the respondent No.1 had executed the sale deed in favour
of the respondent No.2 prior to filing of the suit, and still the
appellant has not prayed for setting aside of the sale deed, and that
even otherwise the possession is not prima facie proved to be of the
appellant. He also submitted that the agreement sought to be specifically
performed is a forged agreement.
(3.) Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsels for the parties and to the impugned order passed by the trial court, it appears
that the appellant-plaintiff has filed the suit seeking specific
performance of the agreement dated 28.12.2010 allegedly executed by the
respondent No.1 in his favour. However, the respondent No.1 had already
sold out the land in question to the respondent No.2 by executing the
sale deed on 27.05.2011. Learned counsels for the respondents have
rightly submitted that the appellant-plaintiff has not challenged the
said sale deed nor has prayed for cancellation of the said sale deed. On
the contrary, they have contended that the alleged agreement dated
28.12.2010 is a forged agreement. Be that as it may, the appellant has also not been able to show that the respondent No.1 had handed over the
possession of the disputed land to him. Under the circumstances, the
trial court has rightly dismissed the application of the appellant under
Order 39, Rule 1 & 2 of CPC.;
